To me, as a middle schooler, that was the most practical thing I could think of.
And I ended up getting good grades, and then I got this little serial cable to give the programs to my classmates, and they got really good grades.
And then the math got a little bit harder.
It wasn't something that I could solve in BASIC anymore.
So I kind of went from this maybe algebra solver that was written in BASIC, and I had to solve harder problems.
And once we got into calculus, I had to run assemblies so that I could write a better solver so I could cheat better on the test now that it was calculus.
And so for me, programming has always been very practical, and I think this is always my advice for people in school, is learn not just the computer science, this is intellectually fascinating, and it's really, really interesting to know, but learn how to apply it.
And often this is about building startups, it's about building products, it's about developing your own design sense, developing your business sense, learning how to do data science, learning how to talk to users.
There are all these other skills, and when you combine it,
with computer science and engineering, that's where it becomes really, really valuable.
So those are the hard skills that I would still be doing by hand.
Yes.
Yeah, so for everyone here today, you are getting Max 20X.
Yeah, incredible.
Pretty good.
So look for a quote in your email, and I can't wait to see what you build.
